SMC Swiftwater Pulley

SMC Swiftwater Pulley Description With the possible exception of rope it can be argued that a pulley is one of the most important components used in all forms of rescue as well as wilderness and alpine exploration. Noting the unique requirements found in Swift Water Rescue, we created an entirely new pulley to address those needs. The Swiftwater fits between our Micro PMP and 3” PMPs in both size and work load, and represents a reasonably priced, NFPA midsized pulley. Made using high quality aluminum, this lightweight pulley weighs 6 oz. and features a 2” sheave. Anodized side plates feature a series of holes that help to minimize the hydroplaning effect that might occur with a typical pulley. These side plates are also configured to work as a Prusik Minding Pulley and are precisely tensioned for easy one-handed operation and secure placement at any point along the rope. High quality sealed ball bearings help to provide the optimal efficiency that is so crucial in rope rescue systems.
